How many comets have been studied by spacecraft?
As of 2021, spacecraft have studied five comets up close: Halley's Comet (by the European Space Agency's Giotto spacecraft), Comet Borrelly (by NASA's Deep Space 1), Comet Wild 2 (by NASA's Stardust spacecraft), Comet Tempel 1 (by NASA's Deep Impact spacecraft), and Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (by the European Space Agency's Rosetta spacecraft).
What does the Deep Space One program do?
Deep Space One's mission target was to flyby an asteroid called 9969 Braille. This mission was only partially successfull so was extended to include further engineering testing along with an encounter with the comet Borrelly.
How are comets formed in deep space?
A nucleus first forms of rocks and frozen gases. Solar radiation or solar wind acts on this nucleus to form a comet
Are they going to bring back the Star Trek Deep Space 9 crew?
No.
Has there been any space probes to any comets?
Yes. In 1998 NASA launched Deep Space 1. It was made to intercept the comet Borrelly, which it did in 2001. See the related link for more information and photos.
Where do the 3 main parts of a comet go?
The three main parts of a comet are the Nucleus, the Coma, and the Tail. The nucleus is the comet itself. In deep space, the comet is frozen solid and almost invisible. As the comet approaches the sun, the Sun's light heats the nucleus of the comet and causes frozen gasses to melt or sublimate, forming a sort of atmosphere around the comet. This is the "Coma" of the comet. The sunlight causes the gasses around the comet to glow. But the gravity of the comet's nucleus isn't strong enough to hold on to an atmosphere, and the Sun's rays push the glowing gasses away from the nucleus, directly away from the Sun. This stream of glowing gas is the "tail" of the comet. It's important to note that the tail of a comet doesn't drag behind the nucleus; the "tail" goes straight from the nucleus away from the Sun, so the "tail" sometimes extends AHEAD of the comet. Because the material of the comet nucleus gets melted and loses mass every pass by the Sun, comets have a limited lifespan. At some point, each comet will break apart into pieces and disappear, leaving only a meteor shower in its wake.
Is a taproot a long and shallow root?
No it is a root that is deep and large going almost straight down on most trees.
What can go deep into space?
deep space antiprobe
Does a comet tail always face away from the sun?
Yes it does. The tail is formed from the cosmic 'wind' hitting the comet as it comes close to the Sun. Since the cosmic wind is always blowing away from the Sun's surface - the comet's tail will always stream away from the Sun.
What is a comets temperature?
The temperature on a comet will vary by its position in its orbit. Comets have been compared to "dirty snowballs" of frozen methane, nitrogen, ammonia and carbon dioxide, with some dust and rocks mixed in. Far from the sun, which is where comets spend most of their time, the temperature will approach the 4 degree Kelvin (minus 269 degrees Celsius) "temperature" of deep space. As the comet falls in toward the Sun, the Sun's radiation heats the comet unevenly, causing "outgassing" as the frozen gasses of the comet are sublimated to form the tail of the comet.
Probe sent to collide with Comet Tempel 1?
The probe is called Deep Impact
What was the crew capability of deep space 9?
To answer your question accurately, I am going to have several answers. The crew capacity of deep space 9 is roughly 1,000 people. The crew capability of deep space 9 is amazingly skilled thanks to the well known officers That capability of deep space 9 it self is made up of 69 photon torpedo launchers + 5,000 photon torpedoes and 69 type 12 phaser banks.
